7. Justification for course change.
Students who enter CHM152, 235, 238 or 350 with a grade of D in the prerequisite course tend
to flounder in these courses. Increasing the grade requirement will ensure that students are
adequately prepared to grasp the material.
8. Effective BEGINNING of what term and year?
FALL 2015
See effective dates calendar.
